Stereotype jokes about someone who is dumb purely based on their appearance is offensive, yes.

Well I'm a brunette but my friends call me a blonde. But it really doesn't bother me. It's just the stereo types.

I\'m fine if a person makes one or two blonde jokes. BUT, when they continue to tell them, it gets on my nerve. After me or someone else clearly stated that they\'d prefer it if they stop the jokes. <br /> <br /> On another hand, I absolutely despise it when the blonde jokes are aimed at me. I tend to get hostile (furious or outraged) by it, and even more so if its aimed toward a friend.<br /> <br /> For example, about a week or so ago, I said something I thought was right in algebra. I was wrong. Another girl said \"wow how could you get that wrong? Its not that hard.\" Then one of her friends butted in and said \"well, she is one of those dumb blondes!\" And the class gave a little giggle. I\'ve never been so mad in my life.<br /> <br /> I\'ve had many more insulting encounters but that was only a minor. br /> Sorry this was kind of a rant. <br /> <br /> But to sum it up, blonde jokes are okay to some extent, but people should know when to stop and think about what they are saying.

I think blonde jokes are fine as long as they are clearly in a joke context. I'm a (natural) blonde, and sometimes people make "blonde jokes" out of a joke context. I've had people (even friends) retort something I say or different opinion I have with "Well, you <i>are</i> a blonde" or "you're just a dumb blonde". That tends to be more hurtful because it <i>is</i> personal even if the person is just kidding. I don't think things like that are acceptable. The clear cut jokes I think are fine, and I laugh along with them.

I don't think they're offensive at all. They're meant to be funny, not mean. I have blonde friends, and they laugh when someone tells a blonde joke. They tell them, too.<br /> <br /> They could be taken offensively, but I think most of the time they aren't meant to be offensive.

not at all. im blonde and i had blonde jokes thrown at me, but it doesn't bother me because i have the highest gpa. as long as it's nothing like "she's blonde so she's probably a umm...it rhymes with trank or plut" because that has the potential to be offensive but if it's anything under that im sure it's just simple good humor. i had an Extremely Over sensative friend and she never complained about blonde jokes.

I don't think they're offensive. I mean, I've got brown hair, so they aren't really aimed at me, but I would just laugh about it.<br /> <br /> But the thing is: I'm Polish. How many of you have heard "How many Poles does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Three; one to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder." I think that's funny and not offensive in any way. So my point being I think that people should learn to laugh at stereotypical jokes and not take them seriously.

In my personal opinion, the "blond" stereotype is gross. Being as I'm morally opposed to stereotyping, I find blond jokes offensive. Also, some people who are blond ARE INTELLIGENT. I really don't think blond jokes should be pointed at blonds.<br /> <br /> That being said, I'm blond...

I think that as long as they aren't used maliciously; you know, actively making fun of someone; they can be funny. Basically I agree with what Buddy said. :P

I think they're offensive, but that's just me.
